\"Print<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Style your smile<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We love the idea of showing off your smile, even while wearing face masks and social distancing. This seriously silly idea has really taken off, as well \u2014 it was even featured in Hello Magazine<\/a>! We\u2019ve got you covered with step-by-step instructions on how to create a smiley face mask<\/a><\/strong> of your own. This one is sure to be a hit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Customize<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Colour coordinate with your favourite outfit<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you already have an article of clothing in a print or colour you love, why not use that to create a custom face mask? All you have to do is snap a photo of the pattern using your phone, upload it to your Snapfish account, and add it to a Full Photo mask design<\/strong><\/a>. Anything from dainty floral prints to adorable stripes or prominent tartan would look amazing on a coordinating face mask<\/a><\/strong>. This is a great way to share your personal style while still keeping safe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And for those with Irish or Scottish heritage (or you just love the tartan look), rock your tartan with pride! Just upload a photo of your family\u2019s tartan, and easily add it to one of our personalised face masks<\/a><\/strong>. If you\u2019re looking for a little more luck of the Irish, consider adding a shamrock or four-leaf clover embellishment too. You can find an assortment of them in the Embellishments tab on the left side of the builder, under \u201cSpecial Occasions\u201d > \u201dSt. Patrick\u2019s Day\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Create<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Create a perfectly matching neutral mask<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes sleek and simple is the look you\u2019re going for. If natural is the look you\u2019re going for, you can easily create a neutral mask to match your skin tone. There are a few easy ways to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first option is to select a close-up photo of yourself from your Snapfish account and upload it to your mask design \u2014 the closer the photo, the better. Similar to the Smiley Face Mask idea<\/a><\/strong>, you\u2019ll have to zoom in on your skin until that is the only thing visible from the photo and it covers the entire face mask design area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second option is to choose from our solid colour backgrounds. On the far-left side of the builder tool, you\u2019ll choose the \u201cBackgrounds\u201d tab. Once selected, you\u2019ll choose the dropdown for \u201cColours\u201d and then \u201cSolid Colours\u201d. From here, you\u2019ll see a wide range of colours from light to dark, vibrant to neutral. Select the neutral tone that looks most similar to your skin and apply it to your mask. This is a quick and easy way to create an understated, discreet face mask. However, if you\u2019re feeling bold, you can always go for a bright solid colour to match your favourite outfit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Promote<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Promote your brand using word of mouth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking for a way to spread the word about your local business, try adding your logo and brand identity to a face mask. This is an easy way to share who you are and what you do while maintaining a safe social distance and staying protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Snapfish, it\u2019s easy to upload your logo as an image and add it to a design. You can choose from our solid colour backgrounds or add a photo of an element of your business to cover the entire face mask. What a fun way to share your talent and spread the word about your brand! This is sure to draw a lot of attention and hopefully generate additional business for your company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make sure your mask fits perfectly<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While our masks are designed to fit a wide variety of faces, we know that everybody is different! This is why we\u2019ve included plastic adjusters with every mask order. Check out the step-by-step instructions<\/strong> below on how to attach the plastic adjuster pieces and ensure your mask fits perfectly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
